What are the chances of you crashing a helicopter if your co-pilot is experienced (decade+) and you're a greenhorn. We're talking like a standard surveillance copter like cops use.

Depends, how prone are you to panicking and what are the visibility/wind conditions?
>>
>>34872723
Depend on if you are a fucking retard or not. My guess tho is that they dont let retards touch the stick.

Realistically very low. The fact that those two cops crashed during the protests was an extremely lucky coincidence.

>>34872723
a plane wants to fly. even unpowered, the wings will still give lift and you can glide

a helicopter wants to crash to the ground and you as a pilot spend all your time and effort preventing that.

Go read about autorotation.

>>34872776
with modern fly by wire thats totally untrue
helicopters are naturally stable

Very low. But there's a lot of choppers in the sky, so you'll have a few dropping down every now and then.
>>

In the military, and even just regular civilian flying, I assume the pilot did his due diligence because he doesn't want to die. If the pilot is half dressed and smells like whiskey and shit, then you might have a problem.

>modern fly by wire
that makes an f-16 stable
>>
>>34873005
active electronic stabilization != naturally stable
In fact, they're pretty much the exact opposite.
